We have, in our experience, met num-
Der of men, in every imaginable line of
business; but the happ.est, most energetic
and agreeable fellows are the agents of the
well-known and popular Davis Sewing
Machine They are as happy as the day
is long. They make every body with whom
they have dealings feel the same. Why is
itY They are men from the ordinary paths
Of life, chosen more for their honesty and
respectablity than on account of mechani-
cal skill, because this Davis machine is
the very acme of mechanical simplicity and
requires no skill in its manipulation, One
hours operation In customers hous

yantages become at once apparent 1t does
not take the lady long to decide in favor Of
this machine, finding, as she does, that she
can do work on it that would be impossible

Any lady who has any knowledge of the
Davis and other machines, will tell you
without hesitation that The Davis is incom-
parably the best. Not only will it perform
more than double the work possible with
any other machine, but the work is done
with half the exertion and with an ease
that Is as pleasing as it Is surprising,

anged. though without any connection as
to subject. The publishers offer q series
Of cash prizes to the persons who are able

Of our Massachusetts Leominster, the
